Title/Link: Investigation of Electric Shock Injuries
Presenter: Richard Heath - Engineering, Fire & Explosions Expert - Hawkins Forensic Investigation
Overview: Electrical Engineer Richard Heath will review the basic concepts of electric shocks, how they occur, and how electric shock personal injury cases are investigated.
In our every day lives we interact with electrical equipment frequently, often without thinking about it. With good product and system design, construction, use and maintenance, the electrical systems and equipment we use do not present a hazard. But when those principles go wrong, they can result in electric shocks. The resulting effects can vary widely, from an ‘unpleasant tingle’, through life-changing burn injuries, to fatal shock (electrocution).
